Abstract

An apparatus for bonding beam lead devices and flip chip devices onto mating conductive surfaces on a substrate or other surface and for bonding electrical leads to semiconductor devices and subsequently to mating conductive surfaces on a substrate or other surface, utilizing either thermocompression or ultrasonic energy. The bonding system of this disclosure includes a novel bonding tool having minute spherically shaped bonding surfaces which are caused by a novel pivoting mechanism to individually and successively bond each of a plurality of electrical leads in a complex wobbling motion which permits the bonding surfaces to trace an adjustable rectangular or other predetermined linear path around the periphery of the device. The system also includes a frequency modulated ultrasonic generator and a novel lead composite, developed for this apparatus.
